Nautical tourism in Croatia brings in big spenders

Nautical tourism is by far the most profitable and an area that Croatia should concentrate on in the future. According to figures from the Croatian Chamber of Economy nautical tourists spent €126 per day in Croatia which is about 40 percent more than the daily spending of the average tourist.

On the end of the Biograd Boat Show, which took place between the 18th and 21st of October, bringing together over 300 exhibitors from all over Europe the Croatia National Tourist summed up the importance of nautical tourism in the country.

In the first nine months of 2018, over 440,000 tourist arrivals and over three million overnight stays were registered in nautical tourism, commented the director of the National Tourist Board, Kristjan Stanicic, and added that the leading markets for nautical tourists in Croatia were Germany and Austria.
